Pretty sure Sang Nguyen exported that one, he comes up with a rare one every now and then. The little plastic trim around the glovebox and the little aluminum mud flap below where the plate goes tells the story. Also seller said "its a 74 but titled as a 76". I'll tell you why. When it was imported and whoever imported it was working on getting a title and the DMV inspector came to check the VIN and give him a document that the bonded title folks will want, the DMV guy wrote down the wrong year. It happened to me.

Anyway, Sang is a very nice man TBH, He sells those green and white with tan seats with the racks on them on ebay. Something he likes to do is post pics of all the ones he sells. I have see unrestored 1963 GS160 come from him as well as 'restored' small frames and a red rally 200 as well.

Wrong badge color and horn but looks legit. Need a better look at the cowls and front mudguard because those pics are too small.

Ok heres some better pics .I dont know what to offer for it .Any clues ?? Says it may have been an old police version in New York but no proof of that .Also states that a 1969 150 engine was put into it as the old one died .New lights,Brake cables ,Carb rebuilt ,new wiring . Runs and shifts good

If it's really a running P200 motor, that could be a pretty good deal so long as you had another bike to put it in. You could part out the rest if it's a crap frame, which it easily could be with the diamond plate all over it.

"150 vbb .. needs tidying up . Engine been rebuilt about 15mths ago by Trojan, not ridden much since so still needs running in . 10 inch new chrome wheels fitted it does ride great starts and stops as it should"

The seller has also posted it on the "VESPA FOR SALE?" FB group. Nobody's commented there, although I'm sure many must know what it is. What's the etiquette in these situations? Call it out in the interest of someone not getting ripped off, or keep schtum because if you don't have something nice to say ... ?

on different scoot group, seller denied it was from VN when someone asked.

Frame is P-series, rear brake lever through the floor, shape of the rear, front fork is P-series as well. The original builder probably used a P and welded up the turn signal holes, modified a rally front fender, modified the rear section and installed rally cowls.

The brake pedal is PX. It might be a great running driving bike, just not original and the owner might not even know it.

The owner may not know But that blue German badge is right where the P-series VIN would be. Those badges were definitely put on to fool someone. Your right though, it might be a great running bike but might be a pain to title in another state.

Interesting one. A 1966 Sprint could easily have been an SEA bodge to begin with, despite being restored in Queensland. Some Vespas have been through multiple restorations. On the other hand, it could have spent it's whole life in Australia. Regardless, I'm not a lover of the whole GS160 replica thing. Same goes for the Lambretta SX replicas using an LI as the base.
